Beyond Diversity & Let's Talk About Race Workshops
These workshops are powerful and transforming two-day workshops designed to help employees consider the implications of racism, exclusion and prejudice on student learning. They prepare employees for ongoing Courageous Conversations about Race. This is part of an initiative to help deinstitutionalize racism at our college.
Courageous Conversations about Race
Courageous Conversations about Race are weekly structured conversations that focus on race. Employees who attend Beyond Diversity & Let's Talk about Race workshops are invited to attend these ongoing conversations. We also have student Courageous Conversations about Race for individuals who have gone through some of our classes that focus on race and culture, such as Race in America (HD 140).
Living Treasures Celebration
The Living Treasures Celebration, organized by the Diversity Caucus, serves an important symbolic purpose in inculcating pluralism into the embedded values of our college. It means a tremendous amount that everyone treats this as a family event, both in bringing their families and in the overwhelming feeling of family when we gather together.
Student Success
This office works across campus with other offices and instruction to ensure that all students regardless of background, have an equal opportunity to achieve their educational goals.
